Do we send foreign aid to first world nations besides Israel? If so, in what form? Food aid, medical, cash ?

Well it's easy to spend money that isn't theirs to begin with. Borrowing money from countries like Germany, Sweden etc, you know the countries who don't siesta half the day, to spend on their military and almost openly corrupt politicians is a great fiscal policy, yeah...
Also practically supporting tax-evasion sin't doing them any favors...

It amazes me that despite the many times its been explained to them that so many people on this thread and others still don't understand Nato funding or why US bases are still in some countries in Europe. Its no surprise that Trump was elected when so many voters can't comprehend facts.

Why this attack on Trump
He wants to protect your civilizations from the attack coming from the desert to you
If Merkel thinks she can protect Europe, she is completely wrong
For the enemy is among your arms
And also on your borders as he seeks to restore the glories of the caliphate
Your democracy is over
And you shall become slaves in the palaces of the caliphs

The rest of the world does not belong to NATO, but I suppose you're a Trump supporter right?. And this is how you spell 'amusing,' no need to thank me.

So the US should show a strong military presence around the world, huh? Tell me: did you feel this way a year ago? Or are you just against anything that Donald Trump says?

So you're a big supporter of bombing missions on the Middle East? Big fan of the Iraq War, were you?

Hahaha, this Trump fella is something else. He really has people on the left defending our need to maintain launch pads for bombing the Middle East. Incredible.

I think it means Germany would like to continue leeching off of America in terms "mutual" defense, but would like to paint a "fake news" picture of the situation.
